How do I convince my friend he's going to die and this a beyond a pants on head retarded idea. How the fuck do these outfitters not vet people on something like this? He's on a high because he divorced his psycho whore of a wife that put his dog down to spite him and he's made just over a million dollars working in the defense industry and shrewd investment with me.

There has to be other easier mountains in Nepal that aren't as expensive or dangerous.

Land that conservation agencies refuse to allow to be open to the public outright should be turned into condos for millionaires instead.

did you know that the colorado river doesn't reach the ocean anymore, and hasn't consistently since the 60s

a similar fate has actually befallen a bunch of rivers in the southwest

What bottles do you like the best for re-use when hiking/doing outdoors stuff?

What do you guys do for food on backpacking trips?

How would you have survived /out/?

near one of the most remote lakes in the western US. I thought /out/ told me the western US was remote and untouched. all you really need is a car, AllTrails™ App, and some running shoes?

I recently got my bachelor's in history from my local university, honestly even though I'm qualified for office jobs and stuff, I'd rather have a farm in Tennessee and grow weed and shrooms and opium and DMT (if the climate of Tennessee allows to grow DMT containing compounds), and raise chicken and sell eggs and sell fruits and vegetables, and power my farm home with renewable energy like solar panels.
